I saw all the high reviews, but I was also bothered by the high number of "I think they work" comments. Well I tried them for a month for cheat-ish meals, and I can say these have truly made little difference at best. I did not use these as a "license to pig out" and I also made sure to only take them before starches like breads and potatos, since they do not work with sugar at all. I found that at best I wouldn't necessarily get sleepy after a eating starches, but it already didn't necessarily happen all the time anyway, so I can't truly credit the pills with that. I plan to go ahead and use the rest of my pills to exhaust my supply, but I doubt I will get these again. The placebo effect is a strong one, and I think that is all these will give you. Sorry, wish I had something more positive to say.
